We thought some extra stats might be of general interest so here goes...
Top speed.
Gav clocked 39.7 mph in Devon and 39.4 just before beauly. But jimbo unofficially broke the 40 barrier both times as he pulled away (but had no speedo)
Maintenance report
- No punctures
- No broken spokes
- 2 sets brake pads replaced
- Adjustment required on jims rear cantilever brakes (thanks gavinos!)
- Chain cleaned and oiled (3 times for lazy Jim, almost every night for obsessed gav) - White lightning as recommended by David C gets a thumbs up
- Cleats oiled to help de-cleating (twice for jim)
- new set of cleats (gav)
Most aggressive rider award.
Must go to Alan "Hogwash" Hogg. Now also known as "jacky". He couldn't resist the temptation to race off miles ahead, the lejoggers had no match for his explosive attack.
Worst drivers.
There were no real dangerous moments for us to speak of but we did witness some careless, reckless driving. This rating is based on frequency of risk taking witnessed.
1. BMW drivers (take note Percy!)
2. Audi drivers
Radioshack team player award.
Alastair Young for "drafting" us along to Stirling. He clearly had plenty in the tank and put the team first to pull us home.
Best overnight stay award.
The Cashman's. Bike workshop. Loads to eat (a very tasty lasagne). Tracey driving to doune with our kit. They could not have done more. Thanks again!
Most devoted blog reader
The cameroons. We hear there has been a twice a day mini-addiction ;)
Ok, this is lejog blog signing off for the moment but here's a little taster of the sort of nonsense that helped us through the tiredness and rain.
The four horsemen of the lejog apocalypse.
Headwind
Fog
Driving rain
Mechanical failure
Mini horsemen
Bonking (energy plummets thro not eating enough)
Hills
There will be one more lejog blog posting tomorrow. A summary stat report and maybe a couple of outtake photos. Signing off for today.......
